About this product

What you'll notice
  • A relaxing fragrance chosen to make a room feel calmer, softer and more balanced, rather than sharp or showy.
  • A slim hexagonal tube in violet and lilac, printed with the HEM name and a soft swirl of colour, easy to keep on a shelf or beside a favourite chair.
  • A simple ritual: light one stick, let the scent settle, and let the room change pace with you.
  • Easy to fold into the moments you already keep, such as the end of the working day, a stretch of yoga, or a quiet page of writing.
HEM, made in India

HEM is a well-known name in Indian incense, and this stick is made in India. The hexagonal tube is the brand's familiar format, designed to keep the sticks neatly together until you need them. We don't have a note-by-note breakdown of the fragrance, so we'll say only what is true: it is a relaxing scent made for unwinding.

How to burn it

These are self-lighting sticks. Light the coated tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows and begins to release its scent. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder or ash catcher. Burn it in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended. Incense sticks like these usually burn for roughly thirty to sixty minutes, though it varies from stick to stick.

Where it fits in a day

This is an evening kind of incense. It suits the hour after a busy day when you want the atmosphere to slow down, and it pairs well with anything that asks for quiet attention: a meditation, a yoga session, a journal, or simply a few unhurried minutes with a cup of tea.

A calm little gift

It makes an easy, thoughtful present for someone who keeps a quiet corner at home or likes to wind down with a ritual. Pair it with a simple holder and it is ready to use the day it arrives.

Common questions

Do I need a special holder?
Any heat-resistant holder or ash catcher that keeps the stick upright and catches the ash will do. A small ceramic or brass one works well.
How strong is the scent?
It is described as a relaxing fragrance for creating a peaceful atmosphere. How far it carries depends on the size of the room and how much air moves through it, so start with one stick and adjust.

    Lemon Grass

    I absolutely LOVE the smell of lemon grass and these have not disappointed. I have one burning in my room and I'm sat in the garden but can still smell the lovely fragrance out here. They do burn for 30 odd minutes as described. I've bought some that burn down within minutes of lighting, so these are excellent. I would

    I was worried

    Lots of reviews saying they don't smell like real Nag Champa. Mine came cut open too so I expected the worst but as someone that's grown up with Nag Champa constantly burning in my home (34 years) They smell exactly like Nag Champa, they burn well. I can't see the issue, I've burnt Nag Champa that had been bought in In
